Is it time for YOU to get moving? You know it when you feel it: a sluggishness that doesn't seem to leave you even with another cup of coffee. It's totally normal with the winter dragging into spring in Vancouver, so why not get moving with the Vancouver Sun Run happening on April 23rd? Here's everything you need to know to get moving – and quickly!
Vancouver Sun Run, April 23rd
What you might not know about the Vancouver Sun Run is that is it actually comprised of many different divisions, allowing you to choose exactly where you feel comfortable and allowing a wide variety of Vancouverites to participate.
10K Sun Run
The main event, which is the 10k run, starts at 9:00am on Sunday, April 23rd, and – as Canada's largest 10k road race – tends to attract the most active of participants. The running route for the 10K race could not be more beautiful with the scenic views of Vancouver, starting in the downtown core at Burrard and Georgia, and continuing on the sloped downhill along English Bay towards Stanley Park. The route then takes you across Burrard bridge, winding along Fir Street to join 4th Avenue and continuing up to Cambie Street Bridge for the final stretch back into downtown.
Water stations are provided at numerous locations along the running route as well as music entertainment to keep you going.
Register for the 10K sun run here.
2.5K Mini Sun Run
An easier and shorter alternative to the 10K run is the 2.5K mini sun run, which might just be appropriate for the whole family. This race starts earlier than the 10K at 8:00am, and is not a timed race and there is no race-day registration, making it much more leisurely and relaxed.
The 2.5k mini sun run route starts on Pacific Boulevard from the 10K finish line, heading east towards Quebec St, and back onto Pacific Boulevard for the final stretch to the finish line. Register for the 2.5k mini sun run here.
Vancouver Sun Run Wrap Party
It's not just all work and no play, even if you truly love to run. Perhaps the best part of participating in the Vancouver Sun Run is enjoying the wrap party which is hosted at BC Place Stadium. Here, you will be able to truly celebrate your achievements with the party's live entertainment, Kids' Zone, awards' ceremony and free food and refreshments.
There are also options available for corporate teams and youth divisions. For all the details and divisions of the Vancouver Sun Run happening on April 23rd, go here.
Happy running!
This is a great hydrating product. Super light weight and absorbs well into the skin. Although the price has increased it’s worth it to buy. A critical component of my skincare routine
The first time I ever used this product was at the end of a hydrafacial at 8 west clinic. This was such a nice formula as it wasn’t heavy and didn’t leave white streaks even though it was an SPF. I most loved that there was a matte formula for my combo skin. It had a nice scent and is super light weight
I have been using this cleanser consistently for 7 years and it’s one of my favourite products. You only need a little bit to get an effective cleanse. The formula isn’t too strong for my sensitive skin
I received a sample of the glo sunkiss bronzer with my last pressed powder purchase and have been using it as a contouring highlighter and it is beautiful. A little goes a long way. The colour is universal and enhances a variety of skin tones. Such a beautiful product. Thank you, for such a useful gift.
Once again I order 2 pressed powder by glo skin beauty from JoyVIVA and I am very satisfied. They sent out the product within a short time of ordering and I had it within days. They added a lovely set of gifts: glow skin beauty and longer face serum which I’m really enjoying and may even order. I appreciate their efficiency and value over other cosmetic providers. Thank you for a seamless process.
